Athletic Tape
Balancing Your Stress To Your Health Foot injuries are common in running and other athletic events that involve impact to the feet. Many of these injuries may be caused by a combination of overtraining, improper shoes or foot supports. Other causes could be foot imbalances, such as pronated feet (the tendency of the feet to roll inward excessively) or rigid high arches.
Common Running Injuries & Treatments Runners are particularly prone to the following injuries of the foot or ankle: Achilles tendinitis, plantar fascitis or strains of the tendons of the midfoot and forefoot. These injuries are usually treated with ice packs, anti-inflammatory medications and rest. In some cases, decreased training or proper taping solves the problem.
Other Foot Problems Bursitis, blisters and calluses usually occur over bony areas of the foot that press against the shoe. Relief can be often found by changing to shoes that don’t press or rub the affected area. Blisters can be avoided by wearing two pairs of socks, applying moleskin (a type of cotton twill fabric) to blister-prone areas, or by using powders or other coatings designed to prevent blisters. Opened blisters should be protected from infection by applying an antiseptic or antibiotic ointment and then taping a sterile dressing over the affected area.
Stress Fractures Stress fractures are also common injuries in athletes, especially those who are overtraining. Stress fractures normally do not require a cast and usually respond to rest and reduced training. Athletes recovering from stress fractures or other foot injuries can keep in shape with low-impact exercises such as swimming, cycling and/ or walking. Remember to have all suspect stress fractures checked by your doctor or healthcare provider.
Getting to the Bottom of Foot Injuries Ideally, the best cure for foot injuries is prevention. Wear properly fitted shoes. Exercise on soft surfaces and avoid rapid increases in training. See your doctor or healthcare provider for any persistent foot pain. With proper prevention and immediate attention, foot injuries should not keep you sidelined for long.
